A Perfect Blend of Art, Music, and Sunset Magic
If you’ve ever dreamed of watching the sunset from one of the most breathtaking spots in Abu Dhabi, the Louvre Abu Dhabi has just given you a new reason to make it happen. The iconic museum’s rooftop venue, Art Lounge, has launched an all-new Sundown Brunch — an experience that combines mesmerizing views, delicious food, and soulful music into one unforgettable evening.
Starting November 8, Saturdays at the Louvre are getting a golden-hour glow-up. The Sundown Brunch isn’t just about dining; it’s about embracing the beauty of twilight as the sky turns from amber to deep blue, reflecting off the museum’s famous dome.
The Magic of the Art Lounge
Perched elegantly above the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s architectural masterpiece, Art Lounge is already celebrated for its relaxed sophistication and panoramic views of Saadiyat Island. It’s a place where art, nature, and ambiance merge effortlessly. Now, it’s also where locals and tourists alike can gather to celebrate sunset with style.
The Art Lounge has teamed up once again with Abu Dhabi House Movement (ADHM) and Groupe Barrière, the duo behind some of the city’s most exciting cultural collaborations. Together, they’re creating a new weekend ritual — one that celebrates life, light, and connection.
The Sunset Experience
As the evening begins, guests are invited to take part in the Sunset Experience — the first part of the event. Picture this: the sun dipping behind the horizon, golden light spilling over the Louvre’s dome, and the soft sound of a live saxophone setting the mood.
With a drink in hand — whether a cocktail or a refreshing mocktail — visitors can unwind as the sky transforms into a canvas of colors. This isn’t just dinner with a view; it’s an immersive moment where time seems to slow down.
A Culinary Journey Through Pan-Asian Flavors
The Tazu by Art Lounge menu takes center stage during the brunch, bringing a contemporary twist to classic pan-Asian cuisine. Each dish is designed for sharing, encouraging a sense of community and togetherness at every table.
Expect plates filled with bold flavors, delicate textures, and creative presentations. Think vibrant sushi rolls, crisp tempura, tangy noodles, and fusion dishes that surprise and delight. Every bite is crafted to complement the sunset setting — light, refreshing, and full of character.
As you indulge, the transition from day to night begins, and the music evolves with it.
The Sound of the City
When the last hues of sunset fade, the tempo rises. The After-Brunch Experience transforms the rooftop into an open-air dance floor where guests can sway under the stars.
DJs DECEMBR 12, Kinsell, Gloria, and Chewna bring their signature house beats to keep the atmosphere lively. From soulful deep house to rhythmic grooves, the music ensures that the night flows seamlessly from dinner to dance.
This isn’t a loud nightclub scene — it’s sophisticated, ambient, and designed for those who appreciate music that moves with the mood.
The After-Brunch Experience
By 8 PM, the lights dim and the energy shifts. Guests who choose to stay for the After-Brunch Lounge are treated to a cozy, upbeat environment where every beat and every breeze feels perfectly timed.
It’s not just a continuation of dinner — it’s a second act. You’ll find yourself dancing, laughing, and enjoying the warm Abu Dhabi night sky. The After-Brunch Experience runs until 10 PM, offering just enough time to lose yourself in the rhythm before calling it a night.
The Packages
The Sundown Brunch is designed to suit every mood and preference. Packages start from AED 250, which includes food and soft drinks — ideal for those who want to enjoy a laid-back evening.
For those who prefer something a little more indulgent, there’s a AED 350 package that includes house beverages. And if you want to elevate the celebration, the AED 450 package with bubbly ensures the night sparkles as much as the skyline.
The After-Brunch Lounge experience is separately priced at AED 199, giving guests the option to enjoy the post-brunch vibes without committing to the full meal.
The Perfect Weekend Ritual
The Sundown Brunch at Art Lounge is more than just a dining event — it’s a celebration of Abu Dhabi’s vibrant culture and its growing appetite for experiences that combine art, food, and music.
Whether you’re an art lover looking for a new way to enjoy the Louvre, a foodie chasing the next great culinary experience, or simply someone who loves sunsets, this is where you’ll want to spend your Saturday evenings.
With its effortless blend of elegance and energy, the event captures everything that makes Abu Dhabi’s social scene so unique. The golden hour here isn’t just a time of day — it’s an emotion, a shared moment that connects people through beauty and creativity.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
There are plenty of reasons to make the Sundown Brunch your new weekend favorite. For one, it’s hosted at one of the most stunning locations in the world — the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a global symbol of art and innovation. Add in panoramic rooftop views, world-class food, live performances, and a playlist that carries you from sunset to starlight, and you’ve got an experience that defines modern Abu Dhabi living.
It’s also the perfect backdrop for memorable photos. The Louvre’s dome, glowing under the evening sky, creates a picture-perfect setting for golden hour enthusiasts. Combine that with elegant table setups, artistic plating, and candle-lit vibes, and you’ve got the ultimate aesthetic experience.
A Celebration of Art and Atmosphere
The idea behind the Sundown Brunch aligns perfectly with the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s mission — to celebrate art in all its forms. Here, art isn’t just what hangs on the walls; it’s in the food, the music, and the shared energy of the crowd.
Every detail, from the choice of lighting to the curated playlist, reflects the same level of creativity and thought that defines the museum’s exhibitions. It’s a reminder that beauty doesn’t end at the gallery — it extends to how we eat, connect, and experience life.
Planning Your Visit
If you’re ready to experience it for yourself, plan your visit wisely. The Sundown Brunch happens every Saturday evening, with the Sunset Experience beginning just before dusk and the After-Brunch Lounge continuing until 10 PM.
Bookings are recommended since rooftop seating is limited and demand is expected to be high, especially during the cooler months.
Dress smart-casual, bring your camera, and prepare to be enchanted by one of Abu Dhabi’s most inspiring new experiences.
Final Thoughts
The Sundown Brunch at Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Art Lounge is not just another dining event — it’s a sensory journey through taste, sound, and scenery. It redefines what it means to enjoy a night out in the capital, offering something for everyone: food lovers, music fans, and anyone in search of a golden-hour escape.
As the sun sets over Saadiyat Island and the museum’s dome glows in the fading light, you’ll understand why this experience is quickly becoming Abu Dhabi’s newest weekend tradition.
